Nearly Done, But a Small Hiccup

Thanks for all your sympathies about my allergies! It's insane how easily they take over my life. Anyway, I finally got my prescription refilled a couple of days ago, so the sneezing and itching should ease away now. Yay!

I've managed to get some more stitching done on Land of Liberty. Here it was yesterday:

And here it is today:

I was so happy with this kit. The piece of fabric provided is much bigger than needed and for a while it seemed like they'd provided extra strands of thread. Until the inevitable happened: I ran out of DMC 935. And the problem is this is all with pearl cotton, which I don't think my LNS carries. I'm going to have to make a trip there this week.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859
